The Middle East & Africa (MEA) IR detector market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.0% during the forecast period, 2014 to 2019. The IR detector market is growing mainly due to the rising security concerns in the region and the growth in the demand for motion sensing and contact-less temperature measurement applications in the consumer electronics sector of the MEA region.

The MEA IR detector market is segmented in terms of applications, which include people and motion sensing, temperature measurement, fire & gas detection, spectroscopy, bio medical imaging, and smart homes, among others. Motion sensors are used to detect motion of an object, particularly a human being’s. Besides, it’s often integrated with a system as a component, which automatically detects or alerts a motion of the user in an area.

The MEA market held a market share of 3.5% of the global IR detector market in 2014. With the advent of MEMS technology, IR detectors are expanding into the consumer electronics markets; for instance, mobile handsets and tablets. MEMS technology, a low-cost and easy-to-manufacture technology, is being used in a wide variety of markets such as security, appliances, and industrial applications. IR detectors are being used for temperature measurement inside mobile phones, tablets, printer heads, and hard disks. Gesture recognition applications in smart TVs and tablets are also expected to drive the growth of the IR detector market in the MEA region. 

The IR detector market in the MEA region is a competitive market, with companies such as Excelitas Technologies Corp., FLIR Systems Inc., Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd, Omron, and Raytheon, among others, dominating the market and strengthening their market positions through product approvals, alliances, and agreements.
